Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business

 

Primo Water Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Primo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is North America’s leading single source provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers sold through major retailers in the United States and Canada.

 

Follow-on Equity Offering

 

On May 22, 2018, we completed a follow-on offering of 5,339 shares of our common stock at a price of $14.00 per share to the public, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 696 additional shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions. All of the shares were offered and sold by Primo. Net proceeds were approximately $70,791, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $4,132. We used the net proceeds from the offering to pay down existing indebtedness and subsequently refinance our remaining outstanding indebtedness (see Note 3 – Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs).

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with our accounting practices described in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Such adjustments, other than nonrecurring adjustments that have been separately disclosed, are of a normal, recurring nature. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or future interim periods. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed on Form 10-K (the “2017 Form 10-K”). The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) with respect to annual audited financial statements. Significant accounting policies are summarized in our 2017 Form 10-K.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts reported previously have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, with no effect on stockholders’ equity or net income (loss) as previously reported. These reclassifications relate to the presentation of common stock warrants which are included within additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with the accounting for employee share-based compensation. The update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The updated guidance eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. The update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We currently anticipate that adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business to clarify the definition of a business, which is fundamental in the determination of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses combinations. The updated guidance requires that in order to be considered a business the integrated set of assets and activities acquired must include, at a minimum, an input and process that contribute to the ability to create output. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets, it is not considered a business, and therefore would not be considered a business combination. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requiring lessees to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (2) a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. We currently are utilizing a comprehensive approach to review our lease portfolio, as well as control implications of adopting the new standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP.  The updated guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the guidance establishes a five-step approach for the recognition of revenue. In each of March, April, May and December 2016, the FASB issued further guidance to provide clarity regarding principal versus agent considerations, the identification of performance obligations and certain other matters. The updates are currently effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Financial statement disclosures required under the guidance will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, judgments and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to contracts with customers. Based on the analysis of our contracts with customers, the timing, measurement, and presentation of revenues based on Topic 606 is consistent with our revenues under Topic 605. We adopted the above standard utilizing the modified retrospective method beginning January 1, 2018, with no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.  Based on our analysis of disclosure requirements within the standard, we have included additional disclosures of disaggregated net sales included in Note 2 – Revenue Recognition below.  

 

 

2.

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of Products

 

We earn revenue from contracts with customers, primarily through the sale of our purified, multi-gallon bottled water, self-service filtered drinking water, or through the sale of water dispensers. All revenue recognized in the current period is derived from contracts with customers. We account for these revenues under Topic 606 which we adopted January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

 

In certain arrangements, depending on the nature and scope of the contract, our customer may be identified as the end consumer as we are interacting directly with the consumer via an implied contract upon the dispensing of self-service purified water. In other arrangements, our customer may be identified as the retailer, as we enter into contracts with retailers to resell purified multi-gallon bottled water or self-service filtered drinking water to the end consumer on our behalf. Our arrangements may also include standalone purchase orders from retailers to sell water dispensers. In such arrangements, the retailer is our customer.

 

Our performance obligations vary by business segment. Our performance obligations may include the delivery of purified water, the sale of the related bottle, or the sale of a water dispenser. In some instances, our sales arrangements may include multiple of the aforementioned performance obligations.

 

Our arrangements may include the shipping of products to our customers after the performance obligation related to that product has been satisfied. For such arrangements when shipping and handling activities are performed subsequent to the performance obligation being satisfied, we have elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods. In such instances, we recognize shipping and handling costs at the same time as we recognize revenue.

 

 

We have no contractual obligation to accept returns nor do we guarantee sales. We may accept returns or issue credits for manufacturer defects or for items that were damaged in transit. We recognize revenue net of an estimated allowance for returns based on historical average return rates.

 

Typically, the transaction price of our products is fixed as agreed upon in our contracts with customers. Our arrangements may include variable consideration in the form of volume incentive agreements or coupon programs. We provide sales incentives to certain retailers in the form of a volume rebate to promote the sale of our products. Generally, the rebates are tiered, such that as sales increase, the rebate percentage increases. We estimate the expected amount of these rebates based on historical sales volume at the time of the original sale. We update our assessment of the amount of rebates that will be earned either quarterly or annually based on our best estimate of the volume levels the customer will reach during the measurement period. We also may include a redeemable coupon for the purchase of purified, multi-gallon bottled water upon the purchase of one of our products. We account for the coupons based on historical redemption rates. The customer’s right to redeem the coupon for a free purified, multi-gallon bottle of water is exercised at or near the purchase of our products such that it does not create a material timing difference in the recognition of revenue.

 

Our sales arrangements may involve collecting revenue directly from the end consumer. Tax on filtered water dispensed from a vended machine is exempt in several jurisdictions. For those remaining jurisdictions in which taxes are not exempt, we have analyzed our contracts with customers, concluding that we are the primary obligor to the respective taxing authority, and as such present sales tax charged to the end consumer utilizing the gross method.

 

We recognize revenue on the products we sell at a point in time. The delivery of purified water and sale of the related bottle are completed via a point-of-sale transaction at which time the customer obtains control and remits payment for the product. The shipment of a water dispenser to our customer reflects the transfer of control. We may grant credit limits and terms to customers based upon traditional practices and competitive conditions. In such instances, the terms may vary, but payments are generally due in 30 days or less from the invoicing date. Due to the point-of-sale nature of our products, we have not recognized revenue in the current period for performance obligations satisfied in previous reporting periods and have no unsatisfied performance obligations as of the end of the current period.

 

Multiple Performance Obligations

 

Our sales arrangements may include multiple performance obligations. We identify each of the performance obligations in these arrangements and allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its identified relative selling price. In such arrangements, all of the performance obligations are met simultaneously as our products are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Thus, revenue is recognized simultaneously for each performance obligation when the customer obtains control of the product.

 

Presentation of Revenue

 

Our arrangements may involve another party selling products to our customers. We partner with retailers to place our self-service filtered water dispensing machines in their stores. We pay retailers a commission on the amount of sales generated from our products. We evaluate whether we control the products before they are transferred to the customer. In such instances where we control our products prior to transferring them to the customer, we are the principal in the transaction and record revenue at the gross amount and record commission paid to retailers as cost of sales. If we conclude that we do not control the products, we are the agent in the transaction and record revenue net of commissions paid to retailers.

 

Accounts Receivable Net of Allowances

 

Trade accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers and not yet collected, and are presented net of allowances. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis and is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. Judgements are made with respect to the collectability of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. We also maintain an allowance for sales discounts, rebates and promotions based on our arrangements with customers. Account balances are charged off against the allowance in the period in which we determine that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. These allowances totaled $2,072 and $1,509 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Bad debt write-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were immaterial.

SunTrust Credit Facility

 

On June 22, 2018, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “SunTrust Credit Facility”) that provides for a $190,000 senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $30,000 senior revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”). SunTrust Bank serves as the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank under the SunTrust Credit Facility. The SunTrust Credit Facility matures on June 22, 2023. The Term Loan requires annual principal payments (payable in quarterly installments) equal to 5% per annum, or $9,500, with the remaining indebtedness due at maturity. The SunTrust Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of our assets. The SunTrust Credit Facility and related obligations are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

 

Interest on outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust Credit Facility is calculated at our option at either (1) a base rate (which is derived from the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%) or (2) LIBOR plus, in each case of the foregoing (1) and (2), a margin, initially set at 2.50% per annum with respect to LIBOR loans and 1.50% per annum for base rate loans. A commitment fee, initially set at 0.30% per annum, ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, is payable quarterly on the average undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility. The margins and commitment fee fluctuate based on our consolidated leverage ratio as specified in the SunTrust Credit Facility. Total issuance costs associated with the SunTrust Credit Facility were $1,640, which have been presented either as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt within long-term debt and capital leases, net of current portion and debt issuance costs, with respect to costs attributable to the Term Loan, or within other assets, with respect to costs attributable to the Revolving Facility. The costs are being amortized as part of interest expense over the term of the SunTrust Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, we had $7,000 outstanding borrowings and $23,000 of availability under the Revolving Facility.

 

The SunTrust Credit Facility contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants that use consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; income taxes; change in fair value of warrant liability; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; non-recurring and acquisition-related costs; and loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, and other.

 

The primary operational covenants included in the SunTrust Credit Facility are as follows: (i) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 and (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 with the financial ratios tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio steps down to 4.25:1.00 with respect to each fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 2019 and on or prior to June 30, 2020 and to 4.00:1.00 with respect to each fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all operational covenants, including (i) a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.45:1.00 and (ii) a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.43:1.00.

 

The proceeds of entering into the SunTrust Credit Facility, together with the approximately $70,791 in net proceeds from our recent follow-on equity offering, were used to pay off the Goldman Credit Facility and Junior Subordinated Debentures, as described more fully below.

  

Goldman Credit Facility

 

On December 12, 2016, to complete the acquisition by merger (the “Acquisition”) of Glacier Water Services, Inc. (“Glacier”), we entered into a senior secured credit facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Goldman Credit Facility”) that provided for an $186,000 term loan facility and a $10,000 revolving loan facility. We repaid all outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Goldman Credit Facility with the proceeds from our recent follow-on equity offering and the proceeds from the SunTrust Credit Facility. In connection with the repayment and termination of the Goldman Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2018, we immediately charged to interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations the remaining $2,960 in unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Goldman Credit Facility and $3,904 related to early payment penalties.

 

 

Junior Subordinated Debentures and Investments

 

In connection with the Acquisition, we assumed $89,529 of 9-1/16% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2028 (the “Subordinated Debentures”) issued to Glacier Water Trust I (“the Trust”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Primo following the Acquisition. On June 29, 2018, in connection with the closing of the SunTrust Credit Facility, we paid $87,938, including accrued interest of $309, to redeem the Subordinated Debentures. In connection with the redemption of the Subordinated Debentures, we recorded a gain of $475 in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulting from the accretion of the remaining fair value adjustment allocated to the Subordinated Debentures as part of the purchase price allocation of the Acquisition.

 

In connection with the redemption of the Subordinated Debentures described above, the Trust issued a revocable notice of redemption of all outstanding capital securities of the Trust, and all outstanding capital securities of the Trust were redeemed on June 29, 2018. We owned a portion of such securities and received $6,277 in proceeds upon their redemption, resulting in a $161 loss on the redemption of the securities which is included in loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment and other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2018, $2,629 of the proceeds were recorded as a receivable included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These proceeds were received subsequent to the period end.

 

Subsequent to the redemption of the Subordinated Debentures and the redemption of all outstanding capital securities of the Trust, the Trust and all related agreements were terminated and effectively dissolved.

 

 

4.

Glacier Warrants

 

On December 12, 2016, we issued warrants to purchase approximately 2,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the Acquisition (the “Glacier Warrants”). The Glacier Warrants became exercisable as follows: 33% on June 10, 2017, 33% on September 8, 2017 and the final 34% on December 12, 2017. The Glacier Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $11.88 per share of Primo common stock and expire on December 12, 2021. The Glacier Warrants’ fair value at the date of issuance of $8,420 was initially recorded as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as part of consideration for the Acquisition. Prior to the Amendment (as defined below), subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the Glacier Warrants were recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

On March 13, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Glacier Warrant Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides, among other things, that under no circumstances may a Glacier Warrant holder exercise any Glacier Warrants and receive a cash payment as a net cash settlement. Thus, effective March 13, 2017, the Glacier Warrants were no longer reported as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value of the warrant liability reported within the consolidated statements of operations. Instead, following the Amendment, the Glacier Warrants were reported as equity instruments on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. The change in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability for the period of January 1, 2017 through March 13, 2017 resulted in non-cash expense of $3,220 as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The estimated fair value of the Glacier Warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs and assumptions within the Black- Scholes pricing model. The key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were as follows:

 

   

March 13, 2017

 

Expected life in years

    4.75  

Risk-free interest rate

    2.08%  

Expected volatility

    33.0%  

Dividend yield

    0.0%  

 

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected remaining life of common stock warrants. Our expected volatility was based on the average long-term historical volatilities of peer companies. The dividend yield assumption was based on our current intent not to issue dividends.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we issued 966 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of Glacier Warrants, including 3 shares of our common stock upon the cashless exercise of 10 Glacier Warrants. At June 30, 2018, there were Glacier Warrants outstanding to purchase 1,026 shares of our common stock.

Value Creation Plan

 

On May 7, 2012, we established the Value Creation Plan (the “VCP”), which was subsequently amended on May 14, 2013 and amended and restated on March 3, 2016. The VCP provided awards comprised of cash or equity grants for eligible employees as determined by the Compensation Committee, based on the attainment of certain performance-based targets. The VCP provided for the issuance of up to three separate awards to eligible employees based on our attainment of financial targets of at least $15,000, $24,000 and $28,000 in Adjusted EBITDA for any fiscal year between 2014 and 2019. On December 22, 2016, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the termination of the VCP, effective December 31, 2016, eliminating the third award related to the $28,000 Adjusted EBITDA target.

 

The award pool for the second issuance based on the achievement of the $24,000 Adjusted EBITDA target equaled 17.5% of the market capital appreciation of our stock from March 11, 2016 to March 20, 2017, the market close on the third full trading day after public announcement of financial results for 2016. On March 20, 2017, 1,370 shares were issued or deferred into the Primo Water Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) as a result of the achievement of the $24,000 Adjusted EBITDA target. The deferral of certain shares did not alter the existing vesting conditions, number of awards vested or the form of the awards issued under the VCP. Additional non-cash expense of $1,482 related to the VCP was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Long-Term Performance Plan

 

On February 28, 2017, we established the Long-Term Performance Plan (the “LTPP”). The LTPP provides equity grants for eligible employees based on the attainment of certain performance-based targets. Our intention is that all awards under the LTPP will be in the form of equity grants. On March 20, 2017, we granted performance based equity awards under the LTPP with vesting terms based on our attainment of certain financial targets for the period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019 (the “March 2017 Grant”). The number of shares earnable under the March 2017 Grant awards vary based on achievement of the established financial targets of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a cumulative basis for fiscal years 2017 through 2019. Additionally, on March 9, 2018, we granted performance based equity awards under the LTPP with vesting terms based on our attainment of certain financial targets for the period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 (the “March 2018 Grant”). The number of shares earnable under the March 2018 Grant awards vary based on achievement of the established financial targets of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a cumulative basis for fiscal years 2018 through 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Omnifrio Single-Serve Beverage Business

 

We previously accrued deferred purchase price payments totaling $1,901 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 related to the April 11, 2011 acquisition of certain intellectual property and other assets from the seller, Omnifrio Beverage Company LLC (“Omnifrio”). On March 31, 2017, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with Omnifrio in which we agreed to a cash payment of $710 to Omnifrio and to transfer all intellectual property and other assets purchased from Omnifrio in April 2011 back to Omnifrio. The settlement resulted in a gain of $1,191, reported within non-recurring and acquisition-related costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

 

Texas Regional Operator Litigation/Arbitration

 

On August 8, 2014, a lawsuit was commenced against us by our regional operators Artesia Springs, LLC, HOD Enterprises, L.P., and BBB Water, Inc. (the “ROs”) in the State of Texas. DS Services of America, Inc. was also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The claims alleged against us in the lawsuit were breach of contract, conspiracy and fraud, and the ROs sought unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On April 10, 2015, the ROs initiated an arbitration proceeding with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). We resolved the claims asserted by BBB Water, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and BBB Water, Inc. was no longer a party to the arbitration proceedings.

 

We entered into a settlement and mutual release agreement with Artesia Springs, LLC and HOD Enterprises, L.P. on April 5, 2017, pursuant to which we agreed to make payments including interest in each of April, July and September 2017 totaling $3,783. The settlement resulted in other expense of $3,701, reported within non-recurring and acquisition-related costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The settlement also resulted in interest expense of $61 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Prism Arbitration

 

On August 5, 2014, Primo Distribution, LLC (“Prism Distribution”) initiated an arbitration proceeding against us, claiming less than $1,000 in damages for alleged breach of contract. The arbitration was filed with the AAA, and was amended on December 19, 2014 to include additional claims for conversion, unfair and deceptive trade practices, fraud, and unjust enrichment. 

 

On July 24, 2017, we entered into a settlement and mutual release agreement with Prism Distribution pursuant to which we agreed to make a payment to Prism Distribution of $825. The settlement resulted in expense of $825, reported within non-recurring and acquisition-related costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Sales Tax

 

We routinely purchase equipment for use in operations from various vendors.  These purchases are subject to sales tax depending on the equipment type and local sales tax regulations; however, we believe certain vendors have not assessed the appropriate sales tax.  For purchases that are subject to sales tax in which we believe the vendor did not assess the appropriate amount, we accrue an estimate of the sales tax liability we ultimately expect to pay.

 

Other Contingencies

 

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such claims and legal actions will not have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law and made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. The 2017 Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The 2017 Tax Act also established new tax laws that went into effect in 2018. ASC 740 requires a company to record the effects of a tax law change in the period of enactment, however, shortly after the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, the SEC staff issued SAB 118, which allows a company to record a provisional amount when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in the tax law. The measurement period ends when we have obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year.

 

 

Although we have incurred operating losses since inception, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4,771 and $6,496, respectively, primarily due to the newly established tax laws resulting from the 2017 Tax Act changes that went into effect on January 1, 2018.  We recorded an income tax benefit of $4,769 and $6,843, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to the federal net operating loss and interest expense limitation, which can be carried forward indefinitely as a result of the 2017 Tax Act.  The federal net operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes a provisional income tax benefit of $2,522 recorded in the second quarter to reflect the deductibility of certain performance-based compensation plans under the 2017 Tax Act.  As this estimate is provisional, it is subject to adjustment during the measurement period as we finalize our detailed analysis of the plan document and related agreements and continue to review relevant guidance as it becomes available. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, this income tax benefit was partially offset by income tax expense related to goodwill and certain intangible assets of $349. We are continuing to gather additional information related to estimates surrounding the remeasurement of deferred taxes to more precisely compute the remeasurement of deferred taxes and the impact of the transition tax. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there was $186 and $373, respectively, of income tax expense recognized related to goodwill and intangibles.

 

Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that might be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. We believe our prior ownership changes have created an annual limit, imposed by Section 382, on the amount of net operating loss we can utilize in a given year. Realization of the loss carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards, subject to the Section 382 limitation.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value rules currently apply to all financial assets and liabilities and for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are required to be recognized or disclosed at fair value. For this purpose, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we held financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The financial assets and liabilities held by us and the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair values are as follows:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets are presented at their carrying value, which approximates their fair value.  Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms, the variable interest rate for borrowings under our SunTrust Credit Facility, the carrying value of debt and capital leases approximates fair value.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, stock options, restricted stock and warrants with respect to an aggregate of 67 and 226 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used in the diluted earnings per share because the exercise or grant prices of the awards were greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, stock options, restricted stock and warrants with respect to an aggregate of 5,171 and 5,438 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of the number of shares used in the diluted loss per share. These shares have been excluded because we incurred a net loss for the respective periods and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Segments

 

We have three operating and reportable segments, Primo Refill (“Refill), Primo Exchange (“Exchange”), and Primo Dispensers (“Dispensers”).

 

Our Refill segment sales consists of the sale of filtered drinking water dispensed directly to consumers through technologically advanced, self-service machines located at major retailers throughout the United States and Canada.

 

 

Our Exchange segment sales consist of the sale of multi-gallon purified bottled water offered through retailers in the United States and Canada. Our Exchange products are offered through point of purchase display racks and recycling centers that are prominently located at major retailers in space that is often underutilized.

 

Our Dispensers segment sells water dispensers that are designed to dispense Primo and other dispenser-compatible bottled water. Our Dispensers sales are primarily generated through major retailers in the United States and Canada, where we recognize revenues for the sale of the water dispensers when the customer obtains control. We support retail sell-through with domestic inventory.

 

We evaluate the financial results of these segments focusing primarily on segment net sales and segment income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization (“segment income (loss) from operations”). We utilize segment net sales and segment income (loss) from operations because we believe they provide useful information for effectively allocating our resources between business segments, evaluating the health of our business segments based on metrics that management can actively influence and gauging our investments and our ability to service, incur or pay down debt.

 

Cost of sales for Refill consists primarily of costs associated with routine maintenance of reverse osmosis water filtration systems and filtered water displays, costs of our field service operations and commissions paid to retailers associated with revenues earned. Cost of sales for Exchange consists primarily of costs for bottling, distribution and bottles. Cost of sales for Dispensers consists of contract manufacturing, freight and duties.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers consist primarily of personnel costs for operations support as well as other supporting costs for operating each segment.

 

Expenses not specifically related to operating segments are shown separately as Corporate. Corporate expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and other related expenses for corporate support, information systems and administration. Corporate expenses also include certain professional fees and expenses and compensation of our Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Item 2 and in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. We urge you to consider those risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

Overview

 

Primo Water Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Primo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is North America’s leading single source provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers sold through major retailers in the United States and Canada.  We believe the market for purified water continues to grow due to evolving taste preferences, perceived health benefits and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Our products provide an environmentally friendly, economical, convenient and healthy solution for consuming purified and filtered water.  We are a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 2017 in connection with the creation of a holding company structure. Our predecessor was founded in Delaware in 2004.

 

Significant Transactions

 

On June 22, 2018, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “SunTrust Credit Facility”) that provides for a $190 million senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $30 million senior revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The SunTrust Credit Facility matures on June 22, 2023. The Term Loan requires annual principal payments (payable in quarterly installments) equal to 5% per annum, or $9.5 million, with the remaining indebtedness due at maturity. The SunTrust Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of our assets. The SunTrust Credit Facility and related obligations are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. See “Note 3 – Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On May 22, 2018, we completed a follow-on offering of 5.3 million shares of our common stock at a price of $14.00 per share to the public, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 0.7 million additional shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions. All of the shares were offered and sold by Primo. Net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $4.1 million, were approximately $70.8 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering to pay down existing indebtedness and on June 22, 2018, we refinanced our remaining outstanding indebtedness (see “Note 3 – Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

On December 12, 2016, we completed the acquisition by merger (the “Acquisition”) of Glacier Water Services, Inc. (“Glacier”), the leading provider of high-quality filtered drinking water dispensed to consumers through self-service water machines located at over 20,000 locations, including supermarkets and other retail locations. The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 9, 2016. Aggregate consideration was approximately $200.2 million consisting of cash, Primo common stock and warrants, plus the assumption of approximately $78.8 million of debt, net of cash. The Acquisition diversified our retailer concentration and offered cross-selling opportunities, while creating operational and shared service synergies. We financed the transaction through a combination of cash-on-hand and borrowings under the $196.0 million Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Goldman Credit Facility”).

Business

 

Our business is designed to generate recurring demand for our purified bottled water or self-service refill drinking water through the sale of innovative water dispensers. This business strategy is commonly referred to as “razor-razorblade” because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. Once our bottled water is consumed using a water dispenser, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a recycling ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle of Primo purified water or they are refilled at a self-service refill drinking water location. Each of our multi-gallon Exchange water bottles can be sanitized and reused up to 40 times before being taken out of use, crushed and recycled, substantially reducing landfill waste compared to consumption of equivalent volumes of single-serve bottled water. As of June 30, 2018, our products were offered in the United States and in Canada at over 45,000 combined retail locations, including Lowe’s Home Improvement, Walmart, Sam’s Club, The Home Depot, Meijer, Kroger, Food Lion, H-E-B Grocery, Sobeys, Circle K, Family Dollar, Walgreens, Albertsons, Publix, and CVS. We believe the market for purified water continues to grow due to evolving taste preferences, perceived health benefits and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Our products provide an environmentally friendly, economical, convenient and healthy solution for consuming purified and refill drinking water.

 

We provide major retailers throughout the United States and Canada with a single-vendor solution for our three reporting segments, Primo Refill (“Refill”), Primo Exchange (“Exchange”), and Primo Dispensers (“Dispensers”), addressing a market demand that we believe was previously unmet. Our over 45,000 locations include approximately 25,000 Refill locations, 13,400 Exchange locations and 7,300 Dispenser locations. Our solutions are easy for retailers to implement, require minimal management supervision and store-based labor, and provide centralized billing and detailed performance reports. Exchange offers retailers attractive financial margins and the ability to optimize typically unused retail space with our displays.  Refill provides drinking water for consumer purchase through the installation of self-service vending displays at retail locations. The Refill business model eliminates the bottling and distribution infrastructure required to deliver traditional bottled water, thereby allowing us to provide refill drinking water at a value price as compared to alternatives in the marketplace. Additionally, due to the recurring nature of water consumption, retailers benefit from year-round customer traffic, highly predictable revenue and health and wellness focused consumers.

 

In a notice published on June 20, 2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (the “USTR”) issued a determination and request for public comment under Section 301 under the Trade Act of 1974 (the “Notices”) concerning the proposed imposition of an additional 25% tariff on specified products from China (the “Tariff”). The list of products set forth in the Notice included self-contained drinking water coolers, including our Dispensers, which we import from China. We have worked with our suppliers and secured a reduction in our cost as well as worked with our customers to increase our prices to include the incremental cost of the Tariff. We believe the cost reduction and increased pricing will offset the impact of the Tariff, however, if retailers increase prices to consumers, consumer demand may be reduced. In July 2018, we applied to the USTR for a Request for Exclusion from the Tariffs for our Dispensers (the “Request for Exclusion”). Our Request for Exclusion is currently pending with the USTR, and there can be no assurance that the USTR will grant our Request for Exclusion or otherwise modify the application of the Tariffs as applied to our Dispensers.

 

Business Segments

 

We have three operating and reportable segments, Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers.

 

Our Refill segment sales consists of the sale of filtered drinking water dispensed directly to consumers through technologically advanced, self-service machines located at major retailers throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Our Exchange segment sales consist of the sale of multi-gallon purified bottled water offered through retailers in the United States and Canada. Our Exchange products are offered through point of purchase display racks and recycling centers that are prominently located at major retailers in space that is often underutilized.

 

Our Dispensers segment sells water dispensers that are designed to dispense Primo and other dispenser-compatible bottled water. Our Dispensers sales are primarily generated through major retailers in the United States and Canada, where we recognize revenues for the sale of the water dispensers when the customer obtains control. We support retail sell-through with domestic inventory.

 

21

 

We evaluate the financial results of these segments focusing primarily on segment net sales and segment income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization (“segment income (loss) from operations”). We utilize segment net sales and segment income (loss) from operations because we believe they provide useful information for effectively allocating our resources between business segments, evaluating the health of our business segments based on metrics that management can actively influence and gauging our investments and our ability to service, incur or pay down debt.

 

Cost of sales for Refill consists primarily of costs associated with routine maintenance of reverse osmosis water filtration systems and filtered water displays, costs of our field service operations and commissions paid to retailers associated with revenues earned. Cost of sales for Exchange consists primarily of costs for bottling, distribution and bottles. Cost of sales for Dispensers consists of contract manufacturing, freight and duties.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers consist primarily of personnel costs for operations support as well as other supporting costs for operating each segment.

 

Expenses not specifically related to operating segments are shown separately as Corporate. Corporate expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and other related expenses for corporate support, information systems and administration. Corporate expenses also include certain professional fees and expenses and compensation of our Board of Directors.

 

In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, when we refer to “same-store unit growth”, we are comparing retail locations at which our products have been available for at least 12 months at the beginning of the relevant period. In addition, “gross margin percentage” is defined as net sales less cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

 

Net Sales. Net sales increased 1.3%, or $1.0 million, to $75.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $74.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The change was due to increases in sales for Refill and Exchange of $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in Dispensers of $1.5 million.

 

Refill. Refill net sales increased 1.3% to $44.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Refill net sales was due to the Glacier Refill integration, in which the Primo locations with a retailer were moved under the Glacier contract in April 2017, and price increases implemented on certain outdoor coin-operated machines, partially offset by a 17.7% decline in five-gallon equivalent units to 23.6 million and a reduction in the number of installed locations. Under the Glacier contract terms, revenue is recognized as the gross amount charged to the end consumers. During part of the second quarter of 2017, revenue from this retailer was reported as the revenue net of the commission amount paid to the retailer. This resulted in an increase in revenue recognized of $0.5 million in the Refill segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Exchange. Exchange net sales increased 10.4% to $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The Exchange sales were driven by U.S. same-store unit growth of approximately 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. In addition, five-gallon equivalent units for Exchange increased 11.0% to 4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 3.7 million in the same period of the prior year.        

 

Dispensers. Dispensers net sales decreased 11.8% to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in Dispensers net sales was due to the timing of orders from major retailers compared to the prior year, as our dispenser unit sales to retailers decreased by 25.8% during the period. Despite the decrease in net sales, consumer demand, which we measure as the dispenser unit sales to end consumers, increased approximately 16.0% to a record 196,000 units for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 169,000 units in the prior year quarter.

 

Gross Margin Percentage. The overall gross margin percentage was 30.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 27.7% for the same period of the prior year primarily due to synergies realized within our Refill segment.

 

Refill. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Refill segment was 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 30.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to a reduction in employee-related expenses attributable to synergies realized since the Acquisition, as well as improved operating cost resulting from the implementation of new routing technology during in the second quarter of 2018.

 

Exchange. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Exchange segment was 32.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 32.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The change was primarily due to changes in product and customer mix.

 

24

 

Dispensers. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Dispensers segment decreased to 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 12.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to promotional activities as well as an unfavorable change in product and customer mix.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A increased 16.8% to $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 12.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 11.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in marketing and advertising costs.

 

Non-recurring and acquisition-related costs. Non-recurring and acquisition-related costs were $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2017. Non-recurring and acquisition-related costs for both periods include costs associated with the Acquisition, including $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, non-recurring and acquisition-related costs in the three months ended June 30, 2017 included $0.9 million related to the settlement with Prism Distribution (see “Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as certain assets became fully depreciated during the prior year.

 

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense increased to $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the refinancing of our remaining outstanding indebtedness, which resulted in $3.9 million of prepayment penalties and $3.0 million related to the non-cash write-off of deferred loan costs and debt discount related to the prior senior credit facility. This increase was partially offset by a gain of $0.5 million due to the accretion of the remaining fair value adjustment initially recorded at the time of the Acquisition resulting from the redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See “Note 3 - Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision. We recorded an income tax benefit of $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a provision of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the United States tax code that affected our income tax provision in 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a provisional estimate to reflect the treatment of certain performance-based compensation plans under the 2017 Tax Act.  Based on our preliminary analysis that certain plans provide fully-deductible compensation expense, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  In the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million related to goodwill and certain intangible assets.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

 

Net Sales. Net sales increased 10.3%, or $13.9 million, to $149.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $135.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The change was due to increases in sales for Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers of $5.7 million, $3.4 million, and $4.8 million, respectively.

 

Refill. Refill net sales increased 7.1% to $86.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Refill net sales was primarily due to the Glacier Refill integration, in which the Primo locations with a retailer were moved under the Glacier contract in April 2017. Under the Glacier contract terms, revenue is recognized as the gross amount charged to the end consumers. During part of the first half of 2017, revenue from this retailer was reported as the revenue net of the commission amount paid to the retailer. This resulted in an increase in revenue recognized of $4.6 million in the Refill segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The remaining increase in net sales was due to price increases implemented on certain outdoor coin-operated machines, partially offset by a 9.1% decline in five-gallon equivalent units to 47.1 million.

 

Exchange. Exchange net sales increased 9.7% to $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Exchange sales were driven by U.S. same-store unit growth of approximately 9.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In addition, five-gallon equivalent units for Exchange increased 10.0% to 7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 7.1 million in the same period of the prior year.       

 

25

 

Dispensers. Dispensers net sales increased 23.9% to $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Dispensers net sales was primarily due to increased consumer demand and the timing of orders by major retail customers compared to the prior year. Consumer demand, which we measure as the dispenser unit sales to end consumers, increased approximately 22.0% to a record 380,000 units for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 312,000 units in the prior year period.

 

Gross Margin Percentage. The overall gross margin percentage was 29.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due primarily to synergies realized within our Refill segment.

 

Refill. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Refill segment was 33.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 30.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to a reduction in employee-related expenses attributable to synergies realized since the Acquisition.

 

Exchange. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Exchange segment was 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 32.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to costs associated with certain promotional efforts as well as a change in product and customer mix compared to the prior year.

 

Dispensers. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Dispensers segment decreased to 10.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 11.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increase in promotional activities as well as an unfavorable change in sales mix towards lower-margin products.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A was unchanged at $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as an increase in marketing and advertising spending was offset by a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense (see “Note 5 Stock –Based Compensation” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements). As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 12.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Non-Recurring Costs. Non-recurring costs were $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2017. Non-recurring and acquisition-related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily related to costs associated with the Acquisition. Non-recurring and acquisition-related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 include costs related to the settlement payments and legal expenses totaling $4.6 million associated with former Texas Regional Distributors and Prism Distribution, LLC, and costs associated with the Acquisition totaling $3.9 million. These costs were partially offset by a settlement reached with Omnifrio resulting in a $1.2 million gain (see “Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).      

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as certain assets became fully depreciated during the prior year.

 

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense increased to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the refinancing of our remaining outstanding indebtedness, which resulted in $3.9 million of prepayment penalties and $3.0 million related to the non-cash write-off of deferred loan costs and debt discount related to the prior senior credit facility. This increase was partially offset by a gain of $0.5 million due to the accretion of the remaining fair value adjustment initially recorded at the time of the Acquisition resulting from the redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See “Note 3 - Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision. We recorded an income tax benefit of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a provision of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $6.8 million primarily due to the 2017 Tax Act changes that went into effect on January 1, 2018 related to the federal net operating loss, which can be carried forward indefinitely. This income tax benefit was partially offset by income tax expense related to goodwill and certain intangible assets of $0.3 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million related to goodwill and certain intangible assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Adequacy of Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of stock, the issuance of debt, borrowings under credit facilities and cash provided by operations. On May 22, 2018, we completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock as described in Note 1 - Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We used the net proceeds from the offering to pay down existing indebtedness and on June 22, 2018, we refinanced our remaining outstanding indebtedness upon entering into the SunTrust Credit Facility (see “Note 3 – Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

We had capital expenditures of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and we anticipate net capital expenditures to range between $10.0 million and $14.0 million for the remainder of 2018. Anticipated capital expenditures are related primarily to growth and maintenance in Refill and Exchange locations.

 

At June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.2 million and we had $23.0 million in availability under our Revolving Facility. We anticipate using current cash, cash flow from operations and availability under our Revolving Facility to meet our current needs for working capital and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. If we do require additional debt financing, such debt financing may not be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

 

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now anticipated and will depend on many factors including:  the number of growth initiatives that will drive same store sales and the rate of growth in new Refill and Exchange locations and related display, rack and reverse osmosis filtration system costs, cost to develop new Dispenser product lines, sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our markets, the expansion of our operations in the United States and Canada, the response of competitors to our solutions and products, as well as the completion of future acquisitions.  Historically, we have experienced increases in our capital expenditures consistent with the growth in our operations, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we grow our business.

 

Our ability to satisfy our obligations or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which to a certain extent is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control.  We also believe that if we pursue any material acquisitions in the foreseeable future we will need to finance this activity through the issuance of equity or additional debt financing, and such financing may not be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

 

Changes in Cash Flows

 

The following table shows the components of our cash flows for the periods presented (in millions):

Net cash used in investing activities

  $ (5.5 )   $ (10.5 )

Net cash used in financing activities

  $ (4.0 )   $ (5.6 )

 

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $5.0 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by a $12.3 million increase in income from operations partially offset the negative impact of the changes in operating assets and liabilities. 

 

27

 

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from $10.5 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the proceeds received from the redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Glacier Water Trust I (see “Note 3 – Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and a decrease in capital expenditures related to our Refill segment partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures in our Exchange segment.

 

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $5.6 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

The proceeds upon entering into the SunTrust Credit Facility, together with the approximately $70.8 million in net proceeds from our recent follow-on equity offering, were used to pay off the Goldman Credit Facility and Junior Subordinated Debentures (see “Note 3 – Debt and Capital Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the net cash used in financing activities included proceeds from warrant exercises, partially offset by an increase in shares purchased to pay taxes associated with certain incentive stock award payouts.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from an increase in shares purchased to pay taxes associated with certain incentive stock award payouts, as well as debt service payments under the Goldman Credit Facility and capital lease payments.

 

Adjusted EBITDA U.S. GAAP Reconciliation

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; income taxes; change in fair value of warrant liability; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; non-recurring and acquisition-related costs; and loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, and other. Our SunTrust Credit Facility contains financial covenants that use Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and is presented to our Board of Directors.

 

Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate this non-U.S. GAAP measure differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The table below provides a reconciliation between net loss and Adjusted EBITDA.

Inflation and Changing Prices

 

In the three most recent fiscal years, inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.

 

Seasonality; Fluctuations of Results

 

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in our sales and operating income. Our sales and operating income have been highest in the spring and summer and lowest in the fall and winter. Our Refill and Exchange segments, which generally enjoy higher margins than our Dispensers segment, experience higher sales and operating income in the spring and summer. We have historically experienced higher sales and operating income from our Dispensers segment in spring and summer; however, we believe the seasonality of dispenser sales are more dependent on retailer inventory management and purchasing cycles and not correlated to weather. Sustained periods of poor weather, particularly in the spring and summer, can negatively impact our sales in our higher margin Refill and Exchange segments. Accordingly, our results of operations in any quarter will not necessarily be indicative of the results that we may achieve for a fiscal year or any future quarter.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Other than the adoption of Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 as described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to such risk factors.

 

Recently imposed tariffs and other potential changes in international trade relations implemented by the U.S. presidential administration could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.

 

Currently, all of our Dispensers are assembled by independent manufacturers in, and imported from, China. These import operations are subject to international trade regulations, including import charges and other agreements among the United States and its trading partners, including China.

 

The U.S. government recently proposed, among other actions, imposing new or higher tariffs on specified imported products originating from China in response to what it characterizes as unfair trade practices, and China has responded by proposing new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from the United States. In a notice published on June 20, 2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (the “USTR”) issued a determination and request for public comment under Section 301 under the Trade Act of 1974 (the “Notices”) concerning the proposed imposition of an additional 25% tariff on specified products from China (the “Tariffs”). The list of products set forth in the Notice included self-contained drinking water coolers, including our Dispensers, which we import from China. We have worked with our suppliers and secured a reduction in the amount we pay for Dispensers and with our customers to increase our prices to include the remaining incremental cost associated with the Tariff as implemented in the Notice. We believe the cost reduction and increased pricing will offset the impact of the Tariff as implemented in the Notice, however, if retailers increase prices to consumers, consumer demand may be reduced, and any increases in the rate of the Tariff or any additional tariffs may adversely affect us in a manner where we cannot negotiate cost reductions or price increases to offset any potential impact. In July 2018, we applied to the USTR for a Request for Exclusion from the Tariffs for our Dispensers (the “Request for Exclusion”). Our Request for Exclusion is currently pending with the USTR, and there can be no assurance that the USTR will grant our Request for Exclusion or otherwise modify the application of the Tariffs as applied to our Dispensers.

 

These Tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or other trade actions that may be implemented, may further increase the cost of certain materials and/or products that we import from China, including our Dispensers, thereby adversely affecting our profitability. These actions could require us to raise our prices, which could decrease demand for our products or otherwise impact the marketability of our products to retailers and consumers. The Tariffs could also force us to seek alternative suppliers for our Dispensers and other materials we import from China or force our existing suppliers to establish new manufacturing operations in other countries, and the products produced by such manufacturers may be of inferior quality, cost more than the Dispensers we currently import from China, or otherwise be sourced from suppliers with unproven operations or reliability. As a result, these actions, including potential retaliatory measures by China, may adversely impact our business. Given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these trade actions by the United States or other countries, as well as the potential for additional trade actions, the impact on our operations and results remains uncertain and could be significant. To the extent that our supply chain, costs, sales or profitability are negatively affected by the Tariffs or any other trade actions, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, face competition from companies with far greater resources than we have and could encounter significant competition from these companies both in Exchange and Refill. 

 

We primarily participate in the highly competitive bottled water segment of the non-alcoholic beverage industry. The industry is dominated by large and well-known international companies, and numerous smaller firms are also seeking to establish market niches. In Exchange, we offer three- and five-gallon bottled water and also provide consumers the ability to exchange their used containers. Competitive factors with respect to our business include pricing, taste, advertising, sales promotion programs, product innovation, increased efficiency in production and distribution techniques, the introduction of new packaging and brand and trademark development and protection.

 

Our primary competitors in our bottled water business include Nestlé, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and Cott Corporation. While none of these companies currently offers a nationwide water bottle exchange at retail, Nestlé offers water bottle exchange on a regional basis. Many of these competitors are leading consumer products companies, have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do, have established a strong brand presence with consumers and have established relationships with retailers, manufacturers, bottlers and distributors necessary to start an exchange business at retail locations nationwide should they decide to do so. Competitors with greater financial resources may put pressure on the prices at which we offer our products which would have a negative impact on our margins. In addition to competition between companies within the bottled water industry, the industry itself faces significant competition from other non-alcoholic beverages, including carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks and waters, juices, sport and energy drinks, coffees, teas and spring and tap water.

 

Refill also participates in the highly competitive purified water segment of the non-alcoholic beverage industry. While the non-alcoholic beverage industry is dominated by large and well-known international companies, numerous smaller firms are also seeking to establish market niches. Refill faces two levels of competition: (i) competition at the retail customer level to secure placement of its reverse osmosis water filtration systems in the store; and (ii) competition at an end-user level to convince consumers to purchase its water versus other options. Competitive factors with respect to our Refill business include pricing, taste, advertising, sales promotion programs, retail placement, introduction of new packaging and branding.

 

We also face competition from other methods of purified water consumption such as countertop filtration systems, faucet mounted filtration systems, in-line whole-house filtration systems, water filtration dispensing products such as pitchers and jugs, standard and advanced feature water coolers and refrigerator dispensed filtered and unfiltered water. We could face enhanced competition if such devices are improved to provide enhanced filtration or other competing services.

 

We also compete directly and indirectly in the water dispenser marketplace. There are many large consumer products companies with substantially greater financial and other resources, a larger brand presence with consumers and established relationships with retailers that could decide to enter the marketplace. Should any of these consumer products companies so decide to enter the water dispenser marketplace, sales of our water dispensers could be materially and adversely impacted, which, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our sales of bottled water.

 

If we lose key personnel or are unable to recruit qualified personnel, our ability to implement our business strategies could be delayed or hindered. In addition, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our planned growth. 

 

We are highly dependent upon the services of our senior management because of their experience, industry relationships and knowledge of the business. The loss of one or more of our key employees could seriously harm our business and we may not be able to attract and retain individuals with the same or similar level of experience or expertise. We face competition for qualified employees from numerous sources and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. Our ability to recruit and retain such personnel will depend upon a number of factors, such as our results of operations, prospects and the level of competition then prevailing in the market for qualified personnel. Failure to recruit and retain such personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. While our employment agreements with members of our senior management include customary confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, there can be no assurance that such provisions will be enforceable or adequately protect us.

Adverse weather conditions could negatively impact our business. 

 

Unseasonable or unusual weather may negatively impact demand for our products. The sales of our products are influenced to some extent by weather conditions in the markets in which we operate. Unusually cool or rainy weather may reduce temporarily the demand for our products and contribute to lower sales, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations for such periods.

 

Changes in taxation requirements could affect our financial results. 

 

We are subject to income tax in the numerous jurisdictions in which we generate net sales. In addition, our water dispensers we sell are subject to certain import duties and sales taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Increases in income and other tax rates could reduce our after-tax income from affected jurisdictions, while increases in indirect taxes could affect our products’ affordability and therefore reduce demand for our products.

 

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards in the United States may be limited, and we may not be able to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards as a result of recent U.S. federal tax reform legislation.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $248.3 million for federal income tax purposes, which expire at various dates through 2037. To the extent available and not otherwise utilized, we intend to use any NOL carryforwards to reduce the U.S. corporate income tax liability associated with our operations. However, our ability to realize our deferred tax assets is based on the extent to which we generate future taxable income and on prevailing corporate income tax rates, and we cannot provide any assurance as to when and to what extent we will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets, whether in whole or in part. Moreover, on December 22, 2017, the federal 2017 Tax Act was enacted into law. The Tax Act contains significant changes to corporate taxation and modifies several existing laws around federal NOLs, including a limitation on the deduction for NOLs to 80% of current year taxable income as well as an indefinite carryover period for federal NOLs. Both provisions are applicable for losses arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For these reasons, even if we are profitable, our ability to utilize our NOLs may be limited, potentially significantly so. Our deferred tax asset related to our NOLs will be reduced, due to the decrease in the federal corporate tax rate outlined in the 2017 Tax Act. To the extent our use of NOL carryforwards is significantly limited, our income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier and in amounts greater than it would if we were able to use net operating loss carryforwards, which could result in lower profits and reduced cash flows. In addition, the 2017 Tax Act places certain limitations on the deductibility of interest expense at a percentage of taxable income. If our interest expense increases beyond a specified percentage of taxable income, a portion of that interest expense may not be deductible for income tax purposes, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 5. Other Information

 

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) is committed to transparency and continually improving our corporate governance practices and values stockholder input. As part of this commitment, the Board regularly engages with our stockholders to seek feedback on our governance and executive compensation practices and policies. Following recent discussions with our stockholders and certain stockholder advisory groups, the Board voted to hold its advisory vote on named executive officer compensation on an annual basis. While our executive officer compensation program is designed to align the interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders by linking short and long-term cash and stock incentives to the achievement of Primo and individual performance goals, we want to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to more regularly assess our executive compensation program.

 

After careful review and consideration of these discussions and other factors, including the preferences expressed by our stockholders as to the frequency of future say-on-pay votes at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board determined on August 6, 2018 that we would hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers annually, beginning at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, until the next advisory vote regarding the frequency of such advisory votes on named executive officer compensation is submitted to stockholders.  The Board and Compensation Committee will continue to review and evaluate our executive compensation practices and policies in order to focus executive behavior on achievement of both our annual and long-term objectives and strategy as well as align the interests of management with those of our stockholders.
